Chapter 30 Niki
Julian looked up and saw Linda. He immediately stood up, “Mother, you’re here.” Niki also stood up in a hurry beside him with an obedient look.
Linda snorted, “You still remember me huh?”
Julian took the cup of tea from Zack and put it at the hand of Linda. He didn’t get angry at her mother’s words, “Mother, what do you mean?”
“Have you taken the medicine today? Are you feeling all right?” Julian asked concernedly.
Linda pointed at Niki, who was standing next to her. “Ask her what I mean. Ask her what happened just now…”
Niki said nothing.
Julian glanced at Niki and said, “Mother, it’s my fault that I didn’t tell you about Niki’s return. Niki has just come back recently and I haven’t had time to tell you, but you can’t blame it on her.”
“In other words, what did Natalie say to you? No matter what, Niki is a good girl. It’s not like what she told
you.”
Linda sneered, “Do you know why Niki come back this time?”
“She chose to leave when the Graham family was in the most difficult situation. Now we finally manage to survive so she is back. Do you really have no idea why she came back? She is not a good girl at all!”
“Mother, Niki had her own reasons. Please don’t misunderstand her… She was…” Before Julian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Linda.
“I don’t want to hear about her reasons. Let me put it this way. I will never allow Niki to become part of the Graham family, nor will I allow you to divorce Nana. If you insist on divorcing her, then don’t call me mother
again.”
Linda was irritated. She didn’t want to see this woman in front of her at all.
Standing aside, Niki still didn’t say anything. She was afraid that if she said something, it would make Linda angrier. If Linda’s condition worsened again in front of Julian, it would be more difficult for her to marry
Julian.
She looked at them quietly without saying anything.
Hearing what Linda said, Julian was obviously angry. “If you insist that Niki is not a good girl, I can do nothing about it.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
It was obvious that her mother had been brainwashed by Natalie. Otherwise, why did she have such a big opinion of Niki?
He stood up and pulled Niki aside, “Let’s go.”
Niki was dragged away by him while she looked back at Linda and said, “Julian, I don’t think it’s a good
idea…”
Julian ignored her and opened the car door with a gloomy face. ‘Julian, don’t… It’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry with your mom. She just favors Natalie rather than me…”
“But I don’t mind.” Niki said worriedly.
Seeing her bing so considerate and gentle, Julian felt more sorry for her.
He put his hand on the door in case that Niki would bump her head, and pulled the woman into the car. Seeing that Julian had made up his mind, Niki sighed and sat in the car.
After she sat down, her eyes suddenly became cold. She glanced indifferently at Linda who was standing at the door of the Graham mansion, without any emotions in her heart.
Julian stepped on the gas.
“Julian, you…” Linda stood at the door and watched his car speeding away. Her heart beat faster again. She was so shocked that she didn’t say anything.
Lily came up and said, “Madam, take care of yourself. Don’t get sick because of Niki, Master hasn’t recovered yet. You must stay strong.”
Linda gasped and sighed.
Niki Linch shall never marry into the Graham family!
Sitting in the car, Niki looked at Julian’s sullen face and said, “Julian, I’m sorry. I put you in a dilemma. I don’t know why aunt Linda is so hostile to me. Did I do anything wrong? I could change.”
Julian said in a low voice, “Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault. It’s my mother’s fault. Don’t worry. I’ll talk
to her later.”
“I don’t know when my mother has become so unreasonable. She can’t even control her emotions. If you marry me, you might need to bear it. Sorry.”
Niki asked, “Well… Julian, will you stay in my apartment tonight? It’s so late…”
Since she knew Julian, Niki hadn’t slept with him yet. She had tried to beat around the bush but failed. She
wanted to try again.
If she could get pregnant with Julian’s child, Linda would not be so determined as she is now. Then she
would have a better reason to marry him.
“I’ll sleep in the company tonight. I’ll drop you at the apartment.” Julian said in a calm voice.
He had a lot on his plate recently. The new drug development that he was working on was not advancing at all, which made him upset. Last time, he specially went to the medical exchange fair and wanted to recruit a
capable doctor of pharmacy with a tempting salary, but he didn’t even see a doctor from Glory Group.
There were all kinds of tricky problems waiting for him to solve. In fact, he hadn’t gone back to his house for days, and he couldn’t even have a rest.
Today, he finally came back to the Graham mansion after the fair, but he encountered this drama again. After
10 774
all these things were settled, he really had no time to rest.
It was hard to hide the disappointment on her face, but Niki still said softly, “Then take care of yourself. Don’t stay up too late.”
“How about I cook you some noodles with vegetables? I remember that you like the noodles I made.” Niki still wanted to persuade him to stay.
Julian thought of the vegetable noodles he hadn’t eaten that night when he mentioned divorce, and then thought of Natalie.
The disgust in his eyes rose again. She still did not give him the real agreement.
How long will it take to play this game with her? How many more times would she use this trick to pit him against Niki?
He snorted and said to Niki, “Cook for me when I get time after this week.”
“And make some for Grandpa. He’s sick now and will like this.”
In the Greenlife villa.
As soon as Natalie arrived home, she saw a courier standing at the door. She walked up to him.
The man raised his head and handed her the box. “Hello, this is your package. Please sign here.”
The box in the man’s hand was luxuriously packaged, all black and heavy.
Natalie signed and took the box into the room.
Under the dim streetlight, she didn’t see the words on it clearly. When she took it into the room, she saw four gilded words on the black box. “For Niki.”
Natalie raised her eyebrows. It had been a long time since she heard anyone call her Niki. In LA, no one call her Niki, and only the Spears family called her like this.
Was it from the Spears family?
With doubts, Natalie opened the box. The smell of the herbs came strongly and she saw all kinds of precious
herbs in it. She even found some extremely rare kinds.
Who sent it? She had thought that it was sent by the Spears family, but now she denied this idea.
She hadn’t been home for three years, nor had she contacted anyone from the Spears family. It was
impossible for her parents to know where she lived. Moreover, she carefully looked through the herbs in it.
There were plenty of dragon roots, which was what she needed for the new drugs she was researching on.
She had always been good at using herbs.
The roots grew in shade and cool environment. There was only one place they could come from, and that was the Dragon Valley in New York.
